Ennio Morricone, the Italian composer whose atmospheric scores for spaghetti westerns and some 500 films by a Who's Who of international directors made him one of the world's most versatile and influential creators of music for the modern cinema, died on Monday in Rome. He was 91.

Always loved most of his music.

I have a pinball game - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" that plays that song and a montage of other songs from his Western soundtracks.  Love that game.

RIP and may God have mercy on his soul.

He also composed one of the best horror scores of all time.  RIP.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.
